From the moment we walked in, we were greeted by the owner with such genuine warmth that we instantly felt like family. It reminded me of being at my grandma's house, where everyone is welcomed with a smile and every meal is made with love. The food is incredible--fresh, authentic, and full of flavor. You can tell they take pride in what they serve. Not only is the quality outstanding, but the portions are generous, so you definitely get your money's worth. It's becoming harder to find restaurants that offer both amazing quality and great portion sizes, and Castillo's delivers on both. The service is just as exceptional. Everyone is friendly, attentive, and truly cares about making your experience memorable. If you're looking for a place with delicious homemade food, generous portions, outstanding service, and an atmosphere that makes you feel like family, Castillo's is the place to go. My wife and I will definitely be back many more times. Highly recommend!

The salsa, rice and beans stole the show for me. I had a great chicken dish and their ground beef also has a delicious taste to it. Best part? It was only $35 for two of us (pretty affordable at a sit down restaurant)....and there was almost NO one in the building at prime dinner time. Loved their menu and reading about their family history as well. Go give this place a try!

The…read morebirria tacos were decent, though they had very spicy pickled onions in them and it took away from the flavor in my opinion. We also tried their empanadas, which were just ok. Drinks were kind of watered down, though, and we were surprised to find out that the sodas are not free refills! Kind of weird and soured our experience, especially since we found this out after we got the bill. Overall, the place is just ok. There are a lot of other tex mex restaurants around that are a better value for the money. I think they were expensive because they're close to Seven Lakes High School and know people will just pay for the convenience.

The rice and beans were nothing to ride home about either. I will say that my wife's ribeye tacos were absolutely amazing, but that's not going to overcome the rest of the experience.

Since it was our first time visiting, they even surprised us with complimentary corn on the cob, which was such a thoughtful touch. The food was outstanding and came out surprisingly quickly. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. My husband was also impressed by the attention to detail throughout the restaurant--even the restroom was stocked with everything you could think of, from toothpicks to mouthwash, which was especially appreciated after enjoying all the delicious corn and black beans! It's rare to find a restaurant that combines amazing food, excellent service, and thoughtful hospitality so well. We left already talking about our next visit, and we can't wait to come back and try their margaritas. Highly recommend!

We had one of the worst dining experiences ever at Ambriza La Centerra. After living in Houston for…read more15 years and dining all over the city, this was by far the most disappointing restaurant experience we've had. What made it even more frustrating is that we've been to the Cypress location many times, and every single visit there has been exceptional -- great food, great service, and consistently enjoyable. Unfortunately, the La Centerra location was the complete opposite. We waited over an hour for our food, only to receive the wrong appetizer. The fajita plate arrived cold and without rice, beans, or tortillas. We sent both dishes back. The replacement appetizer -- ceviche tostadas -- finally arrived, but it was overloaded with lemon to the point of being unbearably sour. Meanwhile, there were still no tortillas, rice, or beans in sight. No drink refills, no updates, and barely any service during the entire wait. After another long stretch of waiting, we finally asked the server what was happening, only for her to return and tell us the kitchen was closing and they no longer had tortillas, rice, or beans available. At that point, after nearly 1.5 hours, we walked out with nothing but a to-go box of fajita meat. To the manager's credit, they removed the appetizer and fajita charges from the bill, but the experience itself left such a bad taste that it completely overshadowed the gesture. Extremely disappointing, especially compared to the excellent standards we've experienced at the Cypress location. Sadly, we will not be returning to this location.

It's the kind of place where you know you're going to leave happy and full without any surprises (in a good way). If this place were closer, we'd probably be regulars. Definitely worth the drive when you're in the area or craving something reliable and enjoyable.

Our fajita meat today was old, and smelled off. We requested medium but it came beyond gray, and zero char- it was sweaty. This showed up within four minutes. The rice was dried out. The beans were, too. As I said- two thirds of the time is great. Sometimes bad visits happen. Then comes the annoying dance: I do *not* want a manager. I sure didn't need an argument (!) from the server about cooking theory. Not looking for free food. We were very hungry and now have to go find another restaurant. We paid and we left. All done. No desire to keep playing roulette with which experience we can expect, and the server pushback was the kicker. You'll be fine without us.
